1 DEPARTMENT OF ENGLISH Faculty of Arts and Sciences University of Puerto Rico Mayagüez Campus PO Box 9000 Mayagüez, Puerto Rico (787) Ext FAX: (787) Introduction Curricular Sequence TESOL Certificate Master s Level In accordance with certification 15.7 approved by the Academic Senate on February 17, 2015 and certification 69 approved by the Administrative Board on February 18, 2014, the English as a Second Language, of the Department of English proposes a Curricular Sequence in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Language (TESOL). This Curricular Sequence will complement and expand graduate students education by providing them not only with the skills to teach English as a Second or Foreign Language, but also with a certificate which will allow them to become qualified for teaching jobs in a global society. It expands their options to teach both overseas and across the U.S. as well. The objectives of this curricular sequence support and align with our institution s general education philosophy. This Curricular Sequence is also aligned with the curriculum for the English Department Masters in English Education (MAEE) Program at UPRM. 2. Curricular Sequence Title Graduate Teaching Certificate in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages TESOL 3. Objectives Students will be able to: DEPARTAMENTO DE INGLES Facultad de Artes y Ciencias Universidad de Puerto Rico Recinto Universitario de Mayagüez Apartado Postal 9000 Mayagüez, Puerto Rico (787) Ext FAX: (787) Understand current research issues and concerns in Second and Foreign Language Teaching 3.2. Design a range of curriculum units, lesson plans, pedagogical materials and assessment tools to meet a range of second and foreign language learners needs 3.3. Evaluate and critique syllabuses, curricula and pedagogical materials for second and foreign language learners 3.4. Analyze samples of language use from second language learners using phonological, lexical, and discourse approaches

2 3.5. Devise and implement appropriate strategies for their own ongoing professional development 3.6. Understand the role of the learners context in second and foreign language learning 4. Justification 4.1. Relationship of the curricular sequence to the mission and objectives of the University and the Department: As stated in Strategic Plan of the English Department: Goal #3. To ensure that the students in the MAEE graduate program achieve their goals in pursuing an MA in English Education (the second point) Objective 2. Develop and implement a graduate TESOL Certificate. As stated in the goals of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences and the Office of Graduate Studies: Objective #1. Be at the Forefront of Higher Education in Puerto Rico ensuring that our students receive the best education. Objective #5. Increase revenue sources. As stated in the goals of UPRM Institutional Plan: Objective #2: To lead higher education throughout Puerto Rico guaranteeing the best education for our students Academic reasons for the establishment of the curricular sequence: The Department of English offers a Masters of Arts in English Education. This degree includes three major components: Second Language Acquisition, Applied Linguistics, and Pedagogy. It also offers courses in other areas of language and literacy and a required Teaching Development course for those who are granted assistantships as Teaching Assistants in our program. These students are immersed in a second language acquisition context and take all the courses necessary to meet a certificate in TESOL, yet they do not receive any recognition for taking these courses in TESOL Professional reasons: In a global society, our graduate students often go on to work as teachers of English as a second or foreign language not only in Puerto Rico and the U.S., but also overseas in places such as Korea, China, Argentina, Brazil, among others. The Department of English has been writing letters required by these and other potential employers stating and certifying these students meet the requirements to teach English as a Second

3 Language because they meet the theoretical and practical criteria necessary to teach in these contexts. The MAEE does not have a mechanism at this point to certify students in this area in the form of a certificate for these graduate students. Thus this information certifying the graduates of our program as TESL qualified does not appear in their official transcripts. This hinders in many cases their abilities to compete with other professionals who possess the same training and a certification. Our context provides them with the opportunity to compete for these jobs in a global and local market. This certificate will guarantee the recognition of the skills required specifically by this job market. 5. Curricular Sequence Options The Curricular Sequence option requires 18 credits in the following domains: language as a system (6), instruction and language acquisition (3), assessment (3), culture (3) and professionalism (3).

The Department will assess this aspect cyclically after implementation of the sequence at least every three years.
